John 1:29-34

29The next day he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, “Behold, 1the Lamb of God who 2takes away the sin of the world! 30This is He in behalf of whom I said, ‘3After me is coming a Man who has proved to be 4my superior, 5because He existed before me.’ 31And I did not recognize 6Him, but so that He would be revealed to Israel, I came baptizing 7in water.” 32And John 8testified, saying, “9I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven, and He remained upon Him. 33And I did not recognize 10Him, but He who sent me to baptize 11in water said to me, ‘He upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon Him, 12this is the One who baptizes 13in the Holy Spirit.’ 34And I myself have seen, and have testified that this is 14the 15Son of God.”
